Blogosphere: the emerging Media Ecosystem -- "But it's important to note that for the first time, everyday people have a way to correct misinformation and circulate the correct information back into the Media Ecosystem. And once that information enters the Blogosphere, it has a chance to spread just as quickly as the original information. Compare that the difficult in getting a Correction printed in the newspaper... and then, the chances of anyone seeing that Correction buried deep inside the next day's paper." (Comment: Many blogs are pointing to this. A few things struck me about it. First, the article is long. If you are interested in blogs, writing, reporting, and journalism, print it out and read it. Second, there isn't much that is actually new in this article. However, it brings several ideas together and that is valuable. Third, there is a lot of hot air that could be removed. Much of it sounds very dot com and overly important. Look folks, you can read and you can write on the web. That's important, it really is, but it won't cure cancer or bring world peace.)

 

  

Reader Comments...
 

Over fondness for self congratulation and counting your new economies before they're hatched are key traits online. That's the defining characteristic, not a facility for grasping any hard truth or sophisticated new concept like collaborative innovation.
